Rationale (The LAP's Purpose)
You have studied merry mathematical systems in
the past. When you first learned to count, you
used the set of natural numbers. In your early
study of arithmetic, you learned how to add, subtract,
multiply, and divide. You soon found that some
division and subtraction problems had no answers. To
handle such situations, the set of integers was dev-
eloped for closure over subtraction, and the set of
.rational numbers was developed for closure over division.
Irrational numbers such as rrand'n 'are not
included in the number sets as yet developed. The set
of real numbers is the union of the rational and irra-
tional numbers. It is the most complete number system
to be developed.
In this LAP you will study the set of real numbers,
its subsets, and properties.
Later, you will extend the field properties of the
Set of real numbers into the field of complex numbers
which give moaning to numerals such as .

RATIONALE (The LAP's Purpose)
Have you ever wondered why exponents are added when powers with the
same base are multiplied? Why do we subtract exponents when dividing?
You may have learned how to manipulate exponents and radicals, but do you
really understand what ycu aro doing? If some of these rules have been
forgotten, we will not only recall them in this LAP, but will also learn
why we operate with them as we do.
We will examine operations with exponents and radicals more formally
than in previous studies. Some of the topics covered will be the laws of
exponents, square root, rational number exponents, radical equations, and
scientific notation. Upon completion of this LAP, you should have a good
foundation for future studies in mathematics.
In later LAPS, concepts involving exponents and radicals will be ex-
tended to such important topics as logarithms, rational expressions,
quadratic functions, and complex numbers. Exponents and radicals are the
building blocks for many topics in mathematics and in the applications of
mathematical concepts to scientific studies.

The earth gravitational pull on an object is directly proportional to
its mass (m) and inversely proportioned to the square of the distance of
the object from the center of the earth (d-2)
Mathematically this may be written:
F kmd-2
It an ooject experiences a force (weight) of 120 lbs. at the earth's
surface (4 x 103 miles from the center of the earth), what pull or force
would the same cbject experience at 8 x 103 miles from the center of the
earth.

The administration and staff of
Ninety Six High School gratefully ac-
knowledges the assistance provided by
the staff of Nova High School, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. We are especi-
ally indebted to Mr. Lawrence G. Insel
and Mr. Laurence R. Wantuck of Nova's
Math Department for permitting us to

some of which has been reproduced in
its original form.
RATIONALE (The LAP'S Purpose)
In the past you have learned to solve equations. You have
also learned that equations are not always in a form which is
easy to work. Many times it is necessary to simplify equations
to get them in a workable form. This LAP is essential to your
future work in solving equations.
In this LAP "algebraic fractions" will also be reviewed
along with the study of the set of rational expressions under
addition and multiplication. The treatment of the operations
is based on the notion of the quantification of variables over
the set of real numbers and the resulting availability of
field properties. Addition and multiplication of rational
expressions is done first by strict application of definitions
so that the underlying principles, when short cuts are used,
will be understood. The concluding section will make use of
rational expressions in problem solving.

Behavioral Objectives
After the completion of your prescribed course of study, youwill be able to:
1. Given an expression, determine whether or not it is a rational
expression.
2. Given a rational expression, express it in simplified form; i.e.,
express it so that the numerator and denominator have no common
:7actors.
3. Given a rational expression (or a sum, difference, product or
quotient of two rational expressions), find all replacements for
the variables for which the expression(s) is ondefined.
4. Given two or more rational expressions, determine the least
common denominator for thous expressions.
5. Given a rational expression, find
a) its multiplicative inverse (if it exists)
b) its additive inverse
6. Given two rational expressions, express any of the following in
simplified form:
a) the product of the two expressions
b) the quotient of the two expressions
c) the sum of the two expressions
d) the difference of the two expressions
7. Given a complex rational expression, write its simplified form.
8. Solve equations involving rational expressions.
9. Solve any given word problem involving rational expressions.

RATIONALE (The LAP's.Purpose)
In 1600 European mathematicians worked
with two branches of mathematics - geometry
and algebra. However, there was no link
between these two branches. Rene' Descartes,
a French philoropher and mathematician, pro-
vided the connection in his GeOmetrie,
published in 1637, by devising a scheme for
locating pointn by using numbers. From this
idea the whole subject of analytic geometry
or coordinate geometry has developed.
In this LAP you will begin an introduc-
tion to coordinate geometry. You.will study
the most basic coordinate figure, the straight
line. You will also investigate the concepts
of slope, intercepts, distance, midpoint,
parallelism, and perpendicularity.
SECTION 1

At the completion of your prescribed course of study, you will beable.to:
1. Identify or define the following:
a. certesian coordinate syitemb. Descartesc. abscissad. brdihatee. origin
2. Given a coordinate system for a line:
a. Find the coordinate of any given point.b. Given two points, find the coordinate of any point of
the segment joining the two points.c. Given the coordinates of two points, determine the
distance between them.
3. Given a coordinate system for a plane:
a. Given a point, identify its coordinates.b. Given an ordered pair, graph the corresponding point.c. Given a point, identify the quadrant or the axis which
. contains the point..d.. Given the lengths of two sides of a right traingle, use
the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the thirdside.
e. Given a geometric figure, one or 'more of whose sideslie along a horizontal or a vertical line, find lengthsof segments or coordinates of points for this figure.
4. Given the coordinates of two points in a plane:
a. Use distance formula to determine the distance betweenthem.
b. Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segmentjoining them.
c. Find the slope of the line containing them.
5. Given the slope of a line or sufficient information todetermine this slope, decide whether:
a. the line "rises to the right".b. the line "falls to the right".c. the line is horizontald. the line is vertical

RATIONALE
In mathematics, the concept of a function is very
important and extremely useful. It appears in almost
every branch of the subject. The concept in mathe-
matics, however, has a slightly different meaning than
in ordinary language. We use the word function to de-
note a certain specific type of correspondence between
the elements of two sets. But previous to any discus-
sion on functions one must initially be concerned with
the idea of a relation.
In this LAP emphasis is placed on review and ex-
tension of concepts which are basic to the study of
relations, functions, and inequalities. The basic
definitions important to the study of functions will
be studied more formally than in previous units. You
will have enough experience with graphing and analysis
of graphs so that you should be able to transfer your
knowledge of functions to future studies in mathematics
and to situations in other academic fields or occupa-
tional endeavors.

RATIONALE
In the preceding LAP, you studied linear func-
tions which were defined by linear equations in two
variables. Unfortunately, nature was not so kind,
so in your study of science you will need a working
knowledge of all forms of quadratic equations and
inequalities. For example, the cable of the bridge
in the picture above forms a parabolic curve and
can be reduced to a quadratic equation.
In this LAP we will study all quadratic equa-
tions ind inequalities and some other kinds of
equations which aro expressible as quadratic equa-
tions and inequalities.
SECTION 1
Behavioral Objectives
NTenAVAILABLE
At the completion of your prescribed course of study, you will be
able to:
1. Define quadratic equation or quadratic function.
2. Sketch or identify the graph of a quadratic function.
3. Given any ;arorable quadratic function, determine its roots.
4. Givcn any qu,lAratic function that is not factorable, determine
its roots in simplest form by couuslasthemaat.
5. State and/or identify the quadratic formula.
6. Gi'ven the equAion Ax2 4 Bx + C = 0, derive the quadratic formula.

RATIONALE
In preceding LAPs you studied functions in general,
and more specifically, the straight* line. Recall that
Descartes is credited with originating the Cartesian
coordinate system. In the concept of coordinates,
Descartes gave mathematicians a new way to look at math-
ematical information. Not only did he show that first
degree, or linear, equations can be graphed as straight
lines, but he also showed that all second degree, or
quadratic equations can be graphed to become circles,
ellipses, parabolas, or hyperbolas. These quadratic
functions are collectively referred to as conic sections.
Conics appear frequently in nature and in numerous
applications; for example, the orbits of planets about
the sun are ellipses. The supporting cables of a sus-
pension bridge form a parabola. The hyperbola appears
as the edges of the shadow cast on a wall by a lamp-
shade. In this LAP we will investigate the graphs of
these quadratic functions in some detail. In addition,
Na will study quadratic inequalities.

RATIONALE
Many problems in mathematics result
in mathematical models involving more than
one sentence, yet the problem requires a
single solution. Two beams of light across
the sky might each be described as the
graph of a linear equation. If they were
to cross one another, you might then have
a point of intersection, the single solu-
tion.
This LAP should help you gain an
understanding of systems of equations or
of inequalities. The use of previously
learned concepts about functions will be
used in developing methods for solving
these systems. Equations of conic sec-
tions will also be continued and studied
with systems of first and second-degree
equations so that you should be able to
solve these systems, and relate the solu-
tions to their graphs.
StCTION 1
Behavioral Objectives
Wthe completion of your prescribed course of study, you willbe able tos

RATIONALE
PROBABILITY
Mathematics has long been closely associated
with the physical sciences. Recently, there have
been important applications of mathematics to the
social and biological sciences, and application to
all sciences have increasingly involved probability
and statistics. The increasing significance of pro-
bability and statistics throughout our society makes
it more and more important that people gain knowl-
edge of probability and statistics.
This LAP takes a brief introductory look at
probability. You will find this study of probabil-
ity not only fun in itself, but also the basis for
beginning the study of statistics.
NOTE: This LAP does not have any tests. There arethree assignments that you are to completeand turn in to the teacher. You will begraded on these assignments.
1
SAMPLE SPACES
So far in your study of mathematics, the concept of "set" has
played an important role. A particular kind of set very important in
the study of probability, consists of a collection of all the possible
outcomes of an experiment. This set is called a sample space.
Example It Suppose you are asked to toss two coins, a dime and a quarter.
In how many ways can they land?
Solution: Here is a list of all the possible outcomes of the toss:
Dime Quarter
H H Both heads
Dime, heads; quarter, tails
Dime, tails; quarter, heads
Both tails
The sample space for the above experiment may be written
{HH, HT, TH, TT}. In this set, the first letter in each pair represents
the outcome of the toss of the dime, the second letter represents the
quarter.
Example 2: Consider the experiment where three different coins are tossed:
a dime, quarter, and a penny. The list of all possible out-
comes appears as follows:
Dime Quarter Penny
H H H
H H T
H T H
H T T
T H H
T H T
T T H
T T T

IIIMAMOULABLE
Again, the list of allypossible outcomes or the sample space is as
follows: {HHH, HHT, HTH, HIT, MN, THT, TTH, TTT }.
Example 3: Suppose you are asked to toss a die. What is the sample space
of this experiment?
Assuming the die is conventional and your toss is legiti-
mate, it can land,with only six faces up. Therefore, the sample
space for this experiment is the following set: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6 }.
Example 4: Consider the problem of tossing a pair of dice. What is the
sample space of this experiment?
To clarify the experiment in our minds, let us call one
die, die (1) and the other die, die (2). Thus an outcome of
a three on die (1) and a four on die (2) is different from an
outcome of a four on die (1) and a three on die (2). In deter-
mining the sample space of this experiment, the following
chart may be helpful:
Outcomes of Die (2

6 61 6,2 63 64 66 66
The outcomes for die (2) are listed on top of the chart,
while the outcomes for die (1) are listed along the left.
The entries of the table are to be interpreted as follows:
3
(2,3): 2 on die (1) and 3 on die (2)
(3,2): 3 on die (1) and 2 on die (2)
ASSIGNMENT ONE
Answer the following questions and TURN THEM IN to the teacher.
I. List a sample space for each of the following experiments:
1. A die is tossed, then a coin is tossed.
2. A three-digit numeral is to be formed from the digits 2, 4, and5, with no digit to be used more than once in a numeral.
3. A box contains four balls: one white, one red, one blue, and
one green. You are to draw one ball from the box, replace it
and then draw a second ball.
4. Repeat exercise 3, except this time you draw two balls from the
box, one at a time, without replacement.
5. Four dimes are tossed.
II. Using tne sample space for die (1) and die (2) on Page 3, answerthese questions:
6. How many of the outcomes show both the dice with the same outcome?For example: (1,1) etc.
7. ,Now many outcomes have the sum of 7?
8. List the outcomes when die (1) is 1.
9. List the outcomes when die (2) is I.
10. Using the results of problems 8 and 9, list the intersection and
union of the two sets of outcomes.
PROBABILITY
The word "chance" is often used in conversation. We may say, "we
take a chance on a raffle," "the chances are the Gamecocks will win,"
"the chances are we will not get a test today."
Sometimes W2 use numbers when talking about "chance." For example:
4
,14:i41"1" In this section we will give the notion of chance a definite mathe-
matical
chances are 2 to 1 out team will win."
lr "The chances are 50-50 that a coin will come up tails."
40PFmatical meaning. We will do this by introducing the concept of probability.
Let's consider an appropriate scale for probability. Study the chart
below which shows a scale starting at 0 and extending to 1, with .5 repre-
senting the half-way point.

The top end represents an event we know will happen for certain.
The bottom of the scale represents an event that is an impossibility.
For example: gettina d 7 on a die that has only six faces numbered 1
to 6 has a probahlity of zero. Any event which is impossible to occur
.N will always have a probability of zero, Some events are certainties.
For example: the probahility that I will die some day is a certainty.
Any event which is a certaioty wi!1 have a probability of one. Some
events are easy to place on t': :air; ot!!erc,, however, cause us to

bility of a real event when it's neither a certainty nor an impossibility.
EQUALLY LIKELY EVENTS
Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. Since there are two
possible outcomes, a sample space for this experiment consists of just
.these two outcomes: (H, T}.
It seems reasonable to assume that heads and tails both have an
equal opportunity to occur. When each element in the sample space has
an equal chance of occurring, we say they are equally likely tc happen.
Definition: Probability of an event
If an experiment can result in N different outcomes, and if each of
these outcomes is equally likely, and if m of these outcomes corresponds
to event A, the probability of event A, written P(A) is:
P(A) a I
In other words:
The probability of Athe number of favorable outcomes
=Total possible outcomes
Example 1: Let's consider again the experiment of flipping a coin, N = 2,
since there are two different outcomes, heads or tails.
Therefore, the probability of the event heads is and the
probability of the event tails is 1/2; written:
P(H) = z P(T) - 1/2
Consider the following experiment. Do you think this experiment
verifies the result of example one?
During World War II, one mathematician in an interrment camp
tossed a coin 1,000 times and then repeated this experiment
over and over. He kept a record of the results. In ten sets
of 1,000 tosses, he found that the number of heads was: 502,
6
511, 497, 529, 504, 476, 507, 5214 504, and 5g NottO how
the numbers of heads clustered around 500 (one-half of 1,000)
althouth.none of the numbers was precisely 500. It is impor-
tant to examine the results of Stith experiments to find if
they do agree with our definition.
Spin the penny: Do you think the results will be the same if
you spina'penny as they are when you toss a penny?
Take a brand new penny--be sure it is new--and spin it so that
it rotates for a large number of turns. Observe the results.
Repeat the spin 50 times and record the number of heads. Do
the results approximate 1/2?
Example 2.1. Consider tossing a die. The six faces are marked by dots as
it :1
shown. There are six possible equally likely outcomes. Our
2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore,
Since 7 is not a member of the sample space, P(7) = 0.
Every element in the sample space is called an elemental./
event.
Notice, each outcome of the experiment corresponds to a single
element in the sample space.
11Isample space looks like this: (1,
applying our definition41I11S aniP(1) = P(2) n P(3) =
P(4) = P(5) = P(6) =
Example 3: We toss a die again as in example one. This time we are con-
cerned as to whether' the outcome is an even number or an odd
number. What is the probability the outcome is even?
Solution: The event "outcome is even," consists of the three elementary
events (2, 4, 6). Since three of the six equally likely events

result in even numbers, we say-- P(even) = 6 or h.
Example 4: A class of 30 students selects its class president in the
following way. The name of each student is written on a
slip of paper and placed in a box. The, slips are mixed up
by shaking the box. Without looking, a person draws a slip.
The person named on the slip is appointed class president.
Questions:
(A) How many elements are in the sample space?
(B) What is the probability of a particular individual
being chosen president?
Solution: For A: Since there are 30 students in the class, there are
30 elements in the sample space (or 30 possible outcomes).
For B: Since there are 30 different outcomes, P(A particular
person is chosen) = -31-1
Example 5: In a bag there are 7 balls, 3 balls are red and 4 balls are
green.
a) What is the probability of picking a red ball on the first
draw?
b) What is the probability of picking a green ball on thesecond draw, given that a red ball was picked on the first
draw?
c) What is the probability of picking a red ball on the third
draw, given that two green balls have been picked on thefirst and second draws?
Solution: a) Sincere there are seven balls and three of them correspond
to choosing a red ball, the probability of choosing a red
ball is
b) Since a red ball was drawn on the first draw, we have six
balls left, two red balls and four green balls. AThergfore,
the probability of choosing a green ball is now it- or 1 .
c) Since two green balls have been drawn, there are five balls
left, three red balls and two green balls. Therefore, the
probability of choosing a red ball is .
